* Use Cobbler API version format to check version
Cobbler use the formula below to return the version:
float(format(int(elems[0]) + 0.1 * int(elems[1]) + 0.001 * int(elems[2]), '.3f'))
Which means that 3.3.7 is changed to 3.307 which is > 3.4.
* Compare Cobbler version as a float
* Remove LooseVersion import
* Get rid of all six.moves imports.
* Get rid of iteritems.
* Get rid of *_type(s) aliases.
* Replace StringIO import.
* Get rid of PY2/PY3 constants.
* Get rid of raise_from.
* Get rid of python_2_unicode_compatible.
* Clean up global six imports.
* Remove all usage of ansible.module_utils.six.
* Linting.
* Fix xml module.
* Docs adjustments.
* Adjust all __future__ imports:
for i in $(grep -REl "__future__.*absolute_import" plugins/ tests/); do
sed -e 's/from __future__ import .*/from __future__ import annotations/g' -i $i;
done
* Remove all UTF-8 encoding specifications for Python source files:
for i in $(grep -REl '[-][*]- coding: utf-8 -[*]-' plugins/ tests/); do
sed -e '/^# -\*- coding: utf-8 -\*-/d' -i $i;
done
* Remove __metaclass__ = type:
for i in $(grep -REl '__metaclass__ = type' plugins/ tests/); do
sed -e '/^__metaclass__ = type/d' -i $i;
done
* Use StrictVersion class to avoid wrong version comparisons that happen in some cases using LooseVersion class
* Refactor code
* Add changelog for PR number 10178
* Update changelog to be more precise
* Use LooseVersion instead of StrictVersion to check cobbler's version in cobbler system module
